1/2 cup seasoned rice vinegar
1/4 cup honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup finely chopped roasted peanuts
Rolls
1 tablespoon peanut oil
4 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
1/3 cup hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon hot chili sauce (such as Sriracha)
12 (8 inch) round sheets rice paper
3 cups thinly sliced romaine lettuce
36 slices julienne-cut seeded peeled cucumbers (2 inch strips)
36 slices julienne-cut red bell peppers (2 inch strips)
36 mint leaves

Preparation

To prepare sauce, combine first 3 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring until honey dissolves. Stir in peanuts.
To prepare rolls, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger, garlic, and chicken; saute 5 minutes. Combine chicken mixture, hoisin sauce, and chile sauce; chill.
Add hot water to a large, shallow dish to a depth of 1 inch. Place 1 rice paper sheet in dish. Let stand 30 seconds or just until soft. Place sheet on a flat surface. Arrange 1/4 cup lettuce over half of sheet, leaving a 1-inch border. Top lettuce with 1/4 cup chicken mixture, 3 cucumber strips, 3 bell pepper strips, and 3 mint leaves. Folding sides of sheet over filling and starting with filled side, roll up jelly-roll fashion. Gently press seam to seal. Place roll, seam side down, on a serving platter (cover to keep from drying).
Repeat procedure with remaining sheets, lettuce, chicken mixture, cucumber strips, bell pepper strips, and mint leaves. Slice each roll in half diagonally. Serve rolls with sauce.
